Party Makeup in Errachidia
Evening makeup for engagements, birthdays, soirées and celebrations — visible definition built for artificial light.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
How long it takes
An hour to an hour and a half, depending on the intensity wanted.
What fails first, and how it is prevented
Party makeup usually fails on heat rather than on time. A crowded Moroccan venue in summer is warm enough that setting in thin successive passes matters more than the choice of foundation.
What Errachidia adds to it
Desert and pre-Saharan Morocco. Dress uses layered textiles suited to an arid climate with gold accents and statement belts — ornamental and practical at once, protecting from sun and sand while signalling craftsmanship.
The metal question. Whatever the garment's metal is, the palette follows it — gold calls for warm bronzes and coppers, silver for cool greys and plums.
The climate. Arid, with extreme daytime heat and cold nights. Dehydration is the constant problem, and it is treated for days beforehand rather than on the day.
Before the day
No trial for a single evening, but it is worth saying what the lighting will be. A face built for a bathroom mirror and a face built for a dim venue with flash photography are not the same face.
A long journey from Casablanca — Ouarzazate and beyond are overnight bookings with travel agreed in advance.
